    I get what the OP is asking about the BCG.
    OP lock your bolt back, hold the bolt catch and pull the charging handle all the way back and let it go.
    This will give you a good idea of how much forward momentum is being applied to the bolt catch during live fire.

    My question is why? Im sure its not good, its not gonna hurt the hammer itself, Im pretty sure it would affect the lower though.

    Has it happened before? Yes.

    Do I sit around and keep dropping the hammer while separated? No.

    The parts getting "slammed" into like youre refferring to, the buffer BCG Etc.. are DESIGNED for that. The aluminum magwell thats getting the shit beat out of it everytime you drop your hammer isnt. STOP IT!
    Quoting to respond directly. Read original text. I didn't say I would be "practicing" with a separated lower. I don't even know how you got to that.

    As to your question on "why?", I can't respond to that. This was a theoretical discussion of mass and inertial forces, that's all.

    As to your last question, to rephrase my original question : I am curious as to why the bolt catch was designed to catch all the inertial forces of a BCG and buffer on its way home, but not a mere hammer.

    Just a discussion man. No need to hate on the low-post-count guy.

    thought the point of a forum was to have discussions and help each other out. some of us don't want to read a bunch of old posts to get one simple answer.

    BTW, you have a very low post count.
    Panties are going to get bunched around here.
    Even if your question wasn't so abstract.
    There is a lot of good solid info on this forum.
    The tone that this site has taken in the last year is wearing on me however.

    Try the orange search button under the Vltor logo at the upper right hand corner of the page.
    It works well for me almost all of the time.
    YMMV.

    I wasnt upset or offended in the least. Im not "hating" at all. Its an odd question...youre gonna catch flak for it man.
    You asked is ther proof that dropping the hammer on a separated lower was bad?
    Ya youre gonna catch flak for man, I wasnt trying to be a prick, I thought I was bein funny. Just relax man. Dont get butt hurt cause you asked a goofy question and got the respones you did.
    It happens to all of us in the begining

    It's never a moot point if it's just a discussion, which I thought was the whole point behind a discussion board. If "it doesn't happen" is your criteria of what's to be discussed then alert the mods on the SHTF threads that need to be mass deleted.

    But thanks anyway. I'm not an armorer, but I do know "how it all works".

    I broke a bolt catch by droping the hammer in a separated receiver when I was a teenager, I haven't done it sence. When I went through Basic Training I saw a guy doing it and I told him what happened to me, he didn't listen and a week or two later broke his bolt catch. The one I broke was on a RRA or DPMS lower and the other was a Colt so it can and will **** anything up.

    Haha thanks. I agree. I've been on my share of boards. Regardless of how "smart" the intro, you get flak just the same.

    Thanks. Haha I didn't get "butt hurt". THAT was funny. I figured I'd get myself out there and get it over with, being new and all.
